“I went through a pretty intense blue nails phase last year—it was almost a compulsion—and while I wouldn’t shy away from a big, bright bold color, I’m loving a plum shade as a transition into my full Red Nail Polish era. To me, a plum is the marriage of magenta and navy, two shades I love to wear on my nails as it is. And because it has so much red, blue, and pink in it, plum serves well for options when it comes to colors in accent nail art, too. I may not like plums in real life, but I love them on my fingers.” – Amanda MitchellSenior Beauty Writer & Stories Creator
